Christmas day, we slept in late, then donned our winter wear for another trip to Mt Hood National Forest.
Thea spent the whole ride there, looking out the back window. Whenever we'd stop, both girls would cry with excitement, hoping we'd be getting out and into the snow.
But our first stop wasn't for hiking, it was to put chains on the tires.
Leo insisted he needed no help, so we stayed snuggly warm in the car while he worked his butt off.
We found a trail we hadn't been to before and began our hike. Leo and the girls went bounding off the trail for a little run and all found themselves hip deep in snow.
Panda didn't seem to mind.
But Thea and Leo had a bit more struggle with it.
Nope, he's not kneeling, he's nearly standing upright.
I don't think these other pictures need captions, except to say we had a most wonderful time.
See lots more pictures here. Hope your Christmas was just as lovely.

What a wonderful post! Thanks for sharing! I'm sure that Onyx would love the snow, but I like it better in some one else's pictures....

Looks like you had a great time - I love the picture of Panda with a big smile on her face (at least it looks like that to me).

In my pregnancy coma I haven't been here for a bit...I loooove the new layout!
And those pictures are hilarious! My dog won't even poop in the snow.
